I finally got my GaoIcarus this afternoon. Very happy all around :)
Only one issue, the Giraffe's head/neck junction has snapped. Based on the location, I think it's a design flaw - and replacing with a copy wouldn't make a difference. I'm going to try replacing the plastic bit with a small metal part that I'll make myself.
Others in the gaoranger line have similar issues with plastic parts wearing out - the neck and rear leg parts from the wolf, white tiger and leopard, for example.
Cheers,
Dave
